According to PDFL.com:
It is 11 on 11 football played under NFL rules. It is designed to give high caliber athletes and coaches a platform to display and improve their skills and pursue professional careers at the next level.
The vision for the PDFL is to create a professional league based on integrity in everything we do. The league focus will be on giving former collegiate/professional athletes an avenue to continue to play competitive football with an ultimate goal of getting an opportunity to be invited to an NFL training camp. With the reality that making it into the NFL is so small, we also develop mentor programs for the players that focus on resume writing, interviewing, and networking.
The league will also provide internships to players in their degree area in order to help them find future employment. The majority of players on PDFL teams have college football backgrounds playing previously at the D1, D2, or D3 level and have achieved their college degree or have actual experience playing for professional leagues like the NFL, CFL, and Indoor Football Leagues. This ensures a higher level of professionalism, competition, and dedication to the game. The PDFL teams also offer more to the community with the ability to advertise local businesses and attractions on televised games.
